Great to meet you!

I’m a therapist who helps adults navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance abuse disorders with zero judgment and plenty of heart. My style blends authentic humor with practical, solution-focused steps so you can make progress that actually fits your daily life. Wherever you are on your journey, we’ll tackle the hard stuff together and build a clear path toward feeling like yourself again.

My approach to therapy

I received my masters degree in social work from Loyola University of Chicago in 2018. My concentration was in mental illness. However, I prefer the term mental health. My goal is to help you achieve emotional, psychological, and social well-being. I have worked in various client-centered settings, which include, hospitals, alcohol and substance treatment, the criminal justice system, and multiple non-profit organizations. Some of the treatment approaches and interventions I have made practical and effective use of are ACT, CBT, Behavior Activation, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

What you can expect from me

Life can sometimes make us feel like no is listening. You can expect me to be genuinely interested in you and your story. You can expect me to take a sincere interest knowing what happened to you and what "we" can do to help you realize your full potential and become everything you are capable of becoming.
